STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Officials at New Dorp High School sent out
notices to parents after one specimen of bed bug was found in a
classroom at the school, a spokeswoman for the Department of
Education confirmed.

There were no other specimens discovered at the school, Marge
Feinberg told the Advance in an e-mail.

"Every time we find a single bed bug, we are required to report
it," she said. "Schools are not hospitable environments for bed
bugs and are brought in from the outside, usually in a bag or on
clothing."
